This alone could be Microsoft's ultimate undoing. Games are the key to the
Home PC market, and if Microsoft looses that it would be the end of their
dominance in the Home PC market. Likely it wouldn't be the end of Windows
as a whole. Businesses would keep it alive, but they wouldn't have the
soaring revenue from Home PC buyers anymore. It depends on how much the
game devs hate Windows 8, and that's one crowd that Microsoft cannot afford
to antagonize.
